Homemade Lotion Bars

No, no, that’s nothing to eat but solid moisturizer.
Ehm.
Best you simply look at the tutorial ;-))

Wrapping and Reducing Polymer Clay Canes

I wrote before about reducing polymer clay canes, here they’re talking about how to fill flower canes with ‘background’ and reduce them without damaging the flowers.
I did it myself in the same way and it worked great, you only need some patience.

Oil Lamp From Orange

Links of entry

I’ve seen the oil lamp from an orange and a little oil before, but I’ve completely forgotten about it.
Unfortunately the time for oranges here is nearly over, I will have to come back to the other oil lamp which works with cotton for a certain time.
And I don’t know whether I will prefer to make embellished oranges, then ;-)

Can Plant Markers

Links of entry

I find these can plant markers really nice!
Because I don’t have no garden I won’t use them but in the same way you can make lovely decorations for garden and balcony ;-)

Recycled Roses

Links of entry

I find these roses from fabric or paper most beautiful, even without wreath!
And it seems that they are easy to make, which does no harm! ;-))

They should look great for jewelry, too, for a ring or earring e.g.?!

If they’re not exactly your cup of tea simply look for flowers from fabric or flowers from paper ;-)

Sock Grass Heads

There, aren’t the little ones real personalities? ;-)
Well, perhaps I will put some of these little ones on my balcony.
If I haven’t anything better to do with my socks ;-))

How to Press Flowers, Leaves and Herbs

unikatissima Clematis VII

Links of entry

I already wrote about drying flowers in the microwave and about flower pounding, here at how to press flowers, leaves and herbs you can find general and comprehensive tips, there are some that I want to try out ;-)

And what to do then with the pressed flowers and leaves?
That is what I did:
unikatissima Clematis VII On the picture you see a little ‘piece of art’ that was meant originally as a card but is much to time-consuming for this: it is a Clematis petal pressed in an old phone book, embellished with self-made decorative paper and hand embroidery.

unikatissima Der trockene Sommer Here I’ve pressed a leek leaf in an old phone book, too, and embroidered it.

unikatissima Herbst I don’t know what kind of leaf this is, but I combined it with self-made decorative paper, self-made ‘papyrus’ and hand embroidery.
